IPC (Feather) Files

Previously saved gaze data in IPC (Feather) format can be reloaded quickly:

from pymovements.gaze.io import from_ipc

gaze = from_ipc("gaze_data.feather")

This is the fastest way to restore already processed datasets. Although, feather files are binary data that are not human readable. While it is a great format for saving intermediate preprocessing data, it is not intended to be shared. We recommend saving gaze data in human readable format, for example as csv.
